Although each EU country is responsible for its own policy in these areas, they can agree on common goals and learn from each other’s experience of what works best. This process is called the ‘open method of coordination’, and it takes place within the Council.

But foreign policy, security and defence are matters over which the individual national governments retain independent control. However, the EU countries have recognised the advantages of working together on these issues, and the Council is the main forum in which this ‘intergovernmental cooperation’ takes place.

In addition, the Council may conclude conventions between the EU member states in fields such as taxation, company law or consular protection. Conventions can also deal with cooperation on issues of freedom, security and justice (see below).

EU citizens are free to live and work in whichever EU country they choose, so they should have equal access to civil justice everywhere in the European Union. National courts therefore need to work together to ensure, for example, that a court judgment delivered in one EU country in a divorce or child custody case is recognised in all other EU countries.

Freedom of movement within the EU is of great benefit to law-abiding citizens, but it is also exploited by international criminals and terrorists. To tackle crossborder crime requires crossborder cooperation between the national courts, police forces, customs officers and immigration services of all EU countries.

If it finds that an EU country is not applying an EU law, it launches a process called the ‘infringement procedure’.
